    A good choice for nostalgic players, but it should have had more new contents.

    There's barely anything to do and the new companions are useless plus the storyline was shody at best imo.

    The worst thing though is that    There's barely anything to do and the new companions are useless plus the storyline was shody at best imo.

    The worst thing though is that as of their last privacy agreement update with this DLC it states they will sell users information including but not limited to their legal name, age, gender, email, billing address, and other private information to basically any third party companies (and yes that includes social media and advertising companies) and since there is no way of playing this without accepting those terms. you basically need to be willing allow your private information to be sold in order to play this dlc.    … Full Review »

    I bet this chapter took a large amount of work (new locations, Oblivion portals scenery, voice acting and so on..) but the actual content isI bet this chapter took a large amount of work (new locations, Oblivion portals scenery, voice acting and so on..) but the actual content is absolutely dead. From one of the worst methods of farming leads for mythic items to another dirt easy zone for new players (all 16 now! Cool concept for new players that dont exist anyway). Zone Craglorn was released only few months after release in 2014 and it was quite tough zone back in the day with very limited CPs and game knowledge.. Craglorn, 7 years after release is probably still the hardest zone in the game - that can't be right. There HAS to be serious rethink of PAID chapters for the future.. You basically buy this to get 2 mythic items and Trial if you have guild to run it with.

    Also wrong focus with the companions (which are garbage anyway). Honestly ZOS don't even have the quality of developers required for proper AI, most companies don't and thats for singleplayer games. Wrong focus on something they can't achieve. MMO, create better grouping tools for dungeons and trials, have an actual store with auctions and so on, this Ultima Online vendor system from 1999 is really something else. Focus on under 50 level players is wrong at this point, majority of population is high level - fact and yet they have Trial and two mythics with the most impossible and toxic farming ever made in MMO. Low level players don't exist, i only see 1000+ CPs around and one under leveled that can't even run fast enough through that new, empty Oblivion portal that is already cleared by high CPs...

    DLCs are fine, they come with sub, chapters have to improve big time. Better content for high levels, improve group tools and possibly Veteran difficulty for overland content, i can't bring myself 7 years after release to pretend to be low level and do the stories in the zonei. If it was challenging and rewarding for high levels, i'd do it gladly. Very active game with strong high level population but very much in stagnant state of development. No surprises, no challenge to improve the game, move the game forward. Just the same stuff for 17th zone to what was done at release 7 years ago (not Craglorn, that one is harder anyway). Oh, still not another class or race... cmon. Terrible value product.    … Full Review »

    Story is bad as it always been in eso.
    Content is copy paste from Oblivion.
    It is not worth the money. You will not find that spark in it.    Story is bad as it always been in eso.

    Only thing good on ESO right now is the engine.    … Full Review »
